The bars are giving me anxiety, I want to reach through the internet and get it right. The blue headset, blue spacers, blue stem and blue tape in a small space aren’t helping.
The worst part for me is the unused left shifter next to a dropper remote.

chuckling at the dropper cable popping out of the frame before heading back in.

I’m kind of amazed but also not amazed at all that there is a market for $3200 titanium All City framesets.

I’m not a fit expert but that seems kinda fucked too. Saddle super high up in the air, little blue chode stem, is this some sorta newfangled gravel fit?
Eh, it doesn’t look that short, at least a 90mm. And if the bars are kinda reachy + the long hoods on the controls means a shorter stem might be totally fine.
The lack of any matchy color at the chairpole is annoying, really needs a blue clamp.
Droppers have kinda messed up a lot of matchy games because they’re pretty much only available in black.
The saddle isn’t that high in the air; if those bricks are standard dimensions, it looks like an about 190mm saddle to bar drop, which would be fine for me if I didn’t have short stubby arms.
Anodized seat clamps, top collars, and chair pole clamp kits are the future, you heard it here first!

Would it surprise you to find out it’s a reddit build?

No.
I’m guessing that bike is in Minneapolis, where people spend lots of money on QBP bikes

I don’t hate it. Definitely points for creativity.

that seems like a temporary solution until they can swap the shifters onto a correctly sized spacer or band clamp

Nah it’s a serious constructeur design.
Front shifter operates a rod on the seattube that tickles your bottom so you remember to move the chain with a bespoke spoon.

There were shifters on the main bars, not connected to anything…

Oh shit. I didn’t even see that.
I’m so confused.
